The Timex Expedition WS4’s fantastic widescreen means you can get a great deal of info at a glance. It’s surprisingly comfortable and intuitive. The ‘analogue’ watch in the top corner turns into a north-pointing compass needle. And there’s also room for the bearing in degrees and in compass points. It’s brilliantly thought out. But it has a slightly over-the-top appearance, and that might be enough to put you off. There are less garish colours available but the width is actually the same as an average watch’s diameter.
